Riassunto

Weave arts activities to STEM instruction, and STEAM ahead to academic success 

Arts activities enhance the skills critical for achieving STEM success, but how do busy STEM educators integrate the arts into sometimes inflexible STEM curriculum? This new edition of From STEM to STEAM explores emerging research to detail the way. It includes:

• Classroom-tested strategies, including sample K-12 lessons plans and planning templates.
• Tools for building a professional development program designed to helps arts and STEM teachers collaborate to create STEAM lessons. 
•  Sample planning frameworks for transitioning schools from STEM to STEAM.

The main objective of both art and science is discovery. Lead your students to make that connection and STEAM ahead to academic success!
